Daniella Atim has formally ended her 17-year marriage to the famed musician Joseph Mayanja, commonly known as Jose Chameleone. Chameleone and Daniella married in a lively wedding on June 7, 2007, and they have five children together. Despite difficulties in their relationship, they always kept their problems hidden until Daniella fled Chameleone’s house in 2017 and sought safety at Sipapa’s. She later filed for divorce in Nakawa Magistrate Court, citing cruelty. However, the pair was able to reconcile and’re-unite’ at the moment.
Daniella and her children moved to the United States in February 2019, after Jose Chameleone spent more than $200,000 to secure a mansion in Minneapolis, Minnesota. However, Daniella’s cryptic social media posts and audios revealed that she had ended her romance with Chameleone. The problem became more serious in September 2020, when an audio recording leaked in which Daniela Atim stated that she was no longer romantically involved with Jose Chameleone and now considered him a brother. In August 2022, Daniella openly chastised Chameleone’s mother on Instagram for failing to intervene when Weasel Manizo assaulted Sandra Teta, implying a habit of ignoring such behavior.
“My name is Daniella, and I live in a suburb of Minnesota with my five children. My faith in Jesus has been a source of strength, guiding me through difficult times. I am a social person who enjoys being around others. It took me a long time to become social again after enduring domestic violence for 16 years. I am also a food enthusiast who loves coffee and hot tea.Five years ago, I moved to the US seeking asylum from various challenges, including domestic violence. I am now a single mom raising my children independently. Despite the seriousness of the years passing by, I choose to embrace life anew while focusing on healing myself. I am a beautiful work in progress, and I advocate saying no to domestic violence,” Daniella Atim wrote in her Instagram post.
